Introducing Tottori's handicrafts ``T OTTO RI put a bird on it - A little bit of Tottori in your life -''
2018.03.14
With the theme of "bridging design and craft," fennica, which proposes a style that combines domestic and international handicrafts and new and old designs, is holding an event "T OTTO RI put a bird on" that focuses on Tottori and introduces folk crafts and local products. "It - A little bit of Tottori in your life" will be held.
Blessed with rich nature and the wisdom of its predecessors, Tottori still has many folk crafts. The prefecture also has the Tottori Folk Crafts Museum, which is active in promoting handcrafts. This event focuses on the handicrafts of Tottori's craftsmen, with a total of approximately 250 items ranging from ceramics such as Inshu Nakai Kiln and Engoji Kiln, which are well known in fennica, to wooden toys and woven fabrics. We have collected folk crafts made by artisans in Tottori through the fennica filter. “Put a bird on it” means “it will be even better with this.” Please add some color to your daily life by adding items from Tottori.

The kiln was opened as a private kiln in 1945, when the Mingei movement was in full swing. Under the guidance of Shoya Yoshida, the leader of the Tottori Folk Crafts Movement, they have been working on creating new folk crafts, and Akira Sakamoto is currently the third generation.

The kiln was opened by Koji Ishihara, who trained at Iwai-gama. We offer simple white hanging cups and slip vessels that give off a primitive yet powerful feel.
